Administrative division

At the 2010 census the regency was divided into nine districts, but a tenth district was subsequently cut out of Mappakusunggu District. These districts are tabulated below with detail about their area, population at the 2010 and 2020 census, and the official mid-2023 population estimates. Two additional districts were subsequently added in late 2022 - Polombangkeng Timur cut out from part of Polombangkeng Utara District, and Laikang from part of Mangara Bombang District; no separate figures are yet available for their areas and populations, which are included with the figures for the district from which they were cut out. The table also includes the locations of the district administrative centres, the number of villages in each district, and its postal codes.
